daria martinoni
Biografie:
Initially an urban photographer driven by her background in geography and an interest in our perception of space, Daria Martinoni's conceptual photo series now explore the impact of human behaviour and consumerism on the environment. Daria's style is characterised by her ability to transform ordinary, often overlooked subjects into striking images that spark conversations about pertinent issues. Daria holds a PGDip (Post Graduate Diploma) in Photography from Falmouth University. She has won several awards in international photography competitions. Based in Switzerland, Daria has had two solo exhibitions and her work has been included in several group exhibitions.
Werkbeschrieb:
The Anatomy of Obsolescence (a Journey of Curiosity). What is the inside of a computer mouse and what parts does a pepper mill consist of? The images reveal the inner workings of consumer goods and visualise their beauty and quality - or lack thereof. The disassembly of everyday objects is revealing of our consumer society. Were these objects designed to be repaired in the event of a defect and to give their users many years of pleasure, or were they designed to be thrown away and replaced after a short life? This work is also a tribute to human creativity, whose uniqueness is being challenged by the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), and to curiosity, perhaps one of the last human talents not (yet) under pressure from AI.
